In this book, Giuseppe Conte highlights the characters and heroes of Greek myth, its relationship with the human soul, and its close connection to man, his ideas, and his tendencies. The writer presents images of Greek gods and heroes from a new perspective. They are flows of energy that pass through the human soul without stopping, even if they vary in appearance. They are in constant motion, even if they seem asleep deep within the soul, but they are waiting for the appropriate moment to revolutionize, emerge, and dominate man again. In this book, Conti narrates how myth has increasingly shown its inseparable connection with the soul, those souls that have lost their way in the twenty-first century, after carrying out the most violent attack on nature, and seemed to want to erase every human feature from the surface of the earth, and even erase the human essence. Itself versus another new reality that derives its value from technology, economics, and money, whatever the cost. However, even though the soul is still subjected to an attack exactly similar to that of nature, and despite the amount of corrupt darkness that has succeeded in infiltrating it, it is still vibrant with its motives, emotions, motivations, memories, and desires, and this is what the author confirms in the pages of Greek myth and the preservation of the soul.

جوسيبي كونتي (1945)، هو أحد أبرز الشعراء المعاصرين في إيطاليا. وُلد في إمبيريا شمال غربي إيطاليا، وانجذب منذ قصائده الأولى في سبعينيات القرن الماضي إلى أراضي الأساطير السحيقة، بوصفها رافداً لإغناء الشعر واستجلاء اللامرئي، وهو الانجذاب الذي قاده عام 1995، بعد أن تقوّى في نصوصه وفي تصوّره النظري للشعر، إلى تأسيس حركة سمّاها "الميثو-حداثة".

صدرت للشاعر الإيطالي عدة مجاميع شعرية منها: "المواسم" 1988، "أغاني الشرق والغرب" 1997، "حوار بين الشاعر والرسول" 1992، "المحيط والفتى" 2002، و"جروح وإزهارات" 2006.
